Robert F. Kennedy edit

Reason: The page for John F. Kennedy has been Extended confirmed protected because people kept changing his middle name to "Fortnite". Can the RFK page also be given Extended confirmed protection since his middle name also start with F? I don't want the same people vandalizing the RFK page.

Current requests for reduction in protection level edit

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Draft:William Bishop edit

Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page edit

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

User:Dxneo edit

Hello sysops, I am here again (and again) regarding the same problem. As an autoreviewed user, it's really bothersome to have to request for the round-robin swap whenever I stubble across a redirect, and leaving a redirect when moving pages to draftspace. I was okay with requesting the swap but then I'd have to wait for someone to review the article. I am definitely not gonna lie and say I heavily work on WP:RM cause I hardly visit the place, but as an editor who's constantly creating (music related) articles this is draining. dxneo (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done, noting that this was removed by request about a year ago. Primefac (talk) 07:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)


Pending changes reviewer edit


Rollback edit

User:MuffinHunter0 edit

I've been patrolling Recent Changes for around a month or so, reverting any vandalism I come across, while also warning/notifying other users about their edits and why it was reverted. Having rollback would allow me to use AntiVandal, which is quite faster in reverting vandalism than RedWarn(the script I am using currently), while also allow quickly rollback edits without having to add a reason. That helps me deal with the edit and move onto other vandalism on the RC list. Some more info that you may want is that I have no warnings, no instances of edit-warring, joined 3/12/2024, which was around 36 days ago, and a near, if not perfect, track record in notifying users.

I don't think this should be controversial, but pinging JJMC89 for comment as they removed this permission earlier today — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:57, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Please run through WP:TPEGRANT 5 and 6. I'm not seeing the need based on their recent template edits. — JJMC89(T·C) 18:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
If you are willing to grant it it to me, fine. If not, fine. It's not worth my time to argue with you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 Not done per JJMC89. -Fastily 03:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
I don't understand this decision. The user easily meets criterion 5. There is nothing in the guideline that says the edits need to be "recent". I don't see how criterion 6 can apply because an admin would not usually be requesting edits to template-protected templates? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps you would be willing to discuss your decision, or would you mind if I overturned it? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
I agree with JJMC89. Rights are assigned on as-needed basis. Given that OP's admin/crat bits were just revoked for cause, I think it's completely appropriate to be discerning here -Fastily 03:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The other interpretation of the ArbCom case is that the community has trusted Nihonjoe to, among other things, edit high-risk templates and the reason for desysopping gives us no reason to think Nihonjoe has lost that trust. Undecided on this request myself, but the alternate perspective shouldn't be ignored entirely. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
Before I stick my neck out any further, Nihonjoe can you tell me if and how you are actually planning on using this userright if granted? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
I've edited many different templates, and even created a bunch of them. I know some of the templates I've edited have been protected, so this right would be used to edit them when necessary. I understand being cautious, but I don't plan on doing anything controversial or against policy with this right. I'm always very cautious when making any template edit, whether the template is protected or not, because such edits have the potential to affect many articles all at once. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 Done Cabayi (talk) 10:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Joe's competence in editing templates, and his caution in making (or not making) breaking changes was not a factor in his desysop. Let's not add unnecessary grief to the situation. Cabayi (talk) 10:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I've been watching what's happened recently and believe that people have been unduly ostracizing Joe. Even though I recommended the removal of 'crat and sysop, I had no issue with the rights he gave himself. Considering the arbitration committee was aware of this fact (per an arbitrator comment at the proposed decision) and didn't take action simply proves my point. Joe lost the trust of the community to be a 'crat and sysop but the same can't be said for the usage of these other rights. The removal of these rights shouldn't have occurred in the first place since there wasn't a breach of trust related to their usage. If the committee had an issue with Joe granting himself these rights, they surely would have acted before closing the case. Noah, AATalk 18:31, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Grufo edit

Hi. I am the creator of Module:Params. Recently the module's permissions have been changed to “Require template editor access”, which means that I no longer have the rights to improve the module and add features to it, or – most importantly – fix possible bugs. Being able to continue working on Module:Params is the reason for which I request template editor rights. --Grufo (talk) 11:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC) Grufo (talk) 11:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
